Acute Pancreatitis - Differential Diagnosis

What other causes of acute pancreatitis would you add to this beautiful graphic?

[Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery @JTraumAcuteSurg]

Emergency general surgery presentations during nights/weekends were linked to higher rates of interfacility transfers but not mortality. Off-hours admissions can add strain on resources, highlighting a need for optimized staffing & regional care planning.

Had to laugh at the timing-this dropped right after a gruelling month of inpatient service plus a week of July overnight call (IYKYK). I’m getting better at work-life balance, but really for most of us in medicine it’s a work in progress. Being kind to yourself is key!

Key points explained very well, risk factors: old age, long floppy sigmoid, previous diverticulitis, better to take your time, do not over inflate, do not feel oblige to reach caecum in all cases, pull back and get CT colons as safe measure in such cases, better safe than sorry

[EndoCollab™ | GI Endoscopy Community @EndoCollabcom]

Diverticulum vs lumen:
• Rounded borders → diverticulum
• Fuzzy mucosa near scope → diverticulum
• Fibrotic rings → diverticulum
• Converging folds → true lumen

Water insufflation ↑ visualization.

Pull back if uncertain—never advance blindly.

Projections from the ESRI show thousands more hospital beds are needed over the next 15 years

[Medical Independent @med_indonews]

Bed capacity projections must not use ‘minimum end’ of scale – IMO

Teaching tip for all endoscopists:

When evaluating gastritis, random biopsies risk missing critical pathology.

The Sydney System provides a reproducible 5-site protocol that improves H. pylori detection and risk stratification.

Learn it. Apply it. Teach it.

Pleased that @CorkAirport has once again been recognised as Europe’s best regional airport.

It is clear that Cork Airport is going from strength-to-strength every year and this award is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of Niall MacCarthy and all his team there.
